Hollywood is still going through a phase that sees a number of iconic film and TV properties being revived or rebooted. Said productions have been met with varied results, and that’s one of the reasons why some would likely prefer that certain IPs are left alone. The "Back to the Future" franchise definitely falls into that pile, as fans (and some of the series’ creators) are very protective of it. That doesn’t mean no one’s thought about what such a project could entail, though. As of matter of fact, series lead Michael J. Fox revealed that he has an idea for a potential reboot.
It’s likely Michael J. Fox would want any potential "Back to the Future" revamp to maintain the essence of the ‘80s/early ‘90s blockbuster trilogy. However, it sounds like he wouldn’t exactly want to see such a production tread the exact same territory. Following his viral appearance at New York Comic Con (where he reunited with co-star Christopher Lloyd), Fox discussed the franchise’s legacy during an interview with ET. It was during that discussion that he revealed his pitch for a reboot, which would theoretically make a major change to the time travel tale's lead character.
